B.Sc. Business Administration (Banking & Finance)

This degree at Pentecost University's Faculty of Business Administration focuses on banking and finance. It prepares you for a career in financial services, from commercial banking to investment. Entry is less competitive than at some other public universities.

What banking and finance programmes typically cover

Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to the principles of business administration alongside specialised courses in banking, financial markets, investment analysis, and risk management. You build quantitative and analytical skills, learn how money flows through the economy, and understand how banks evaluate loans and manage financial risk. Most courses also cover accounting and corporate finance.

How competitive is entry at Pentecost University

Entry to this programme at Pentecost University is less competitive. For comparison, the same programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is highly competitive, while at All Nations University it is also less competitive. This means that your grades may still give you a chance even if they are not the highest. You should check with Pentecost University admissions whether your WASSCE results meet the requirements.

Where a banking and finance degree can take you

Graduates from banking and finance programmes typically find roles in commercial banks, investment firms, insurance companies, and regulatory bodies. You could work as a customer relations officer, credit analyst, financial analyst, or branch manager, among other positions. The skills you develop also transfer to corporate finance departments in any industry.
